This pair of wine coolers takes the form of Champagne buckets, designed in the Art Deco style by Luc Lanel for Christofle and dating to 1940. Fashioned from silverplate over metal, the vessels present a polished silver colour throughout their construction. Each tapered cylindrical body displays a reeded central band of horizontal parallel mouldings, plain polished upper and lower sections, and small rectangular side handles attached near the rim. Full marks appear on the underside of each piece. Measuring 21 cm high, 24.8 cm wide, and 19 cm deep, the pair functions as barware for chilling bottles. In a contemporary home, these champagne buckets suit placement on a sideboard top during dining or entertaining, or display within a bar setting when not in active use.

FAQs

Art Deco champagne buckets from this era typically exhibit clean geometric forms, reeded or engine-turned detailing, and streamlined handles. Designed for functional luxury, they balance understated elegance with balanced proportions and reflective metal finishes.

Mid-century French wine coolers were commonly produced in high-grade silver plate over base metals such as brass or nickel silver. The manufacturing process often involved heavy gauge spinning, lathe-turned reeding, and cast metal handles electroplated for durability.

Authentic pieces are identified by stamped makers marks, hallmarks, or initials near the rim or base indicating the manufacturer and metal quality. Further indicators include substantial weight, crisp geometric moulding, and hand-finished soldering on the handles.

A pair of silver champagne buckets can be displayed symmetrically on a dining room sideboard, marble console table, or open bar cart. When not holding iced bottles, they can serve as decorative vessels for seasonal floral displays or operate as focal barware accents.

Clean silver-plated barware using a soft sponge with mild soapy water, followed by immediate drying with a microfibre cloth to prevent water spots. Periodically apply a specialist silver polish with a soft cotton pad to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive cleansers that could wear away the silver plating.
